Wikigraph
Hi! This is a visualization I've always wanted but never quite found. It's a navigable map of the Wikipedia link graph structure, with search and shortest-path finding. Offline, I parsed the May 2026 English Wikipedia full-text dump into a directed graph, used cuGraph on a GPU to run PageRank, Leiden clustering, and ForceAtlas2 for the layout. I did some post processing to get rid of lingering overlapping nodes and rendered a tiled map of raster base images (using Skia) and JSON metadata. Tiles are bundled into PMTiles. The frontend is Deck.gl. Everything is hosted on Cloudflare. Search and…

In plain words
Wikigraph is an interactive map of English Wikipedia's link structure, allowing users to navigate the connections between articles visually. It offers search functionality and can calculate the shortest path between any two articles. The visualization uses algorithmic clustering and layout techniques applied to Wikipedia's full article graph, rendered as an explorable tiled map accessible through a web browser.

WikiBinge – discover how all things are vaguely connected2023 · wikibinge.com · ▲246Connect two articles on Wikipedia, but do it the long way. I've always been a fan of the theory of six degree of separation, but it's an overused concept when exploring the Wiki-graph. Instead of showing the shortest path, which in my opinion is "boring" and ends up connecting super-important central articles, I came up with my own method: WikiBinge selects the smaller, less represented articles on Wikipedia. In a WikiBinge path, the underdogs are the kings! How does it work? It's pretty straightforward! Compute PageRank on the Wiki-graph and assign as weight of each edge the PageRank value…
